Fact #1: Blind.

Step one, identify which card is my Wellcare spendable's card. This is my over-the-counter benefit card that I get from my new insurance company.

Process: open the SeeingAI app brought to you for free by Microsoft research. It does many things, but for this purpose I just need it to read what it sees in front of the camera. I keep the card in the center pocket of my wallet. I have four cards here. Some of them are easy to identify which card it is by it's physical features. Take each card and one by one I place them in a room where I know the light is on. I align the card with the camera. I slowly pull away from the card. It reads what is in front of the camera. I repeat until I find the correct card.

Step two, take a few pictures of the front and back of the card. Open the camera app, and do what I normally do to take a picture. Similar process to what I do above… I take multiple pictures because I never know when there is going to be a glare or when I have the card slightly out of frame and something gets cut off.

Step three, open the Claude app and start a new chat conversation. I attach the photos I took. I explained to Claude what I am trying to do. And why I took multiple pictures. I ask it if it can clearly identify the numbers, the expiration date and the security code by using the multiple pictures and multiple angles.

Step number four, I ask it to return only the 16 digit number of the card with no spaces so that I can copy and paste it. Because I went through the process of getting my card to pay for food and bills and stuff, I can then open the mint mobile app and pre-pay for my cell phone service for the next couple of months. You can pre-pay for three months, six months or 12 months of service. Depending on how many gigabytes of data you want, this determines the price you pay. I paid $120 for six months of service and 6 GB of data. (that's a low price for the record. Lol) this card gets $218 a month. It's been just accumulating money while I waited to get it approved to pay for these additional items.

Because I'm one determined b****, it actually worked.

I've then used my SeeingAI app again to determine what is the front of the card. I tore off a small piece of masking tape and adhered it to the corner of the card. Masking tape is really easy to work with using one hand. This will allow me to identify the card easier in the future. Then using Claud and what I've already done, I create a note in the important numbers folder of my notes app and save the information here for when I need it again so I don't have to go through this process every time.

Outcome: I don't have to use a crappy Obama phone. Everyone on here thinks I'm magic.
